and i am short the rest. sector analysis is particularly important in technology. because people confuse this gigantic group of stocks, which comprises more than 15% of the s&p 500, constantly. tech is actually the agglomeration of a whole group of sectors, semiconductors, disc drives, software, cloud, internet, personal computers, large scale enterprise hardware makers, tech, tech communications, infrastructure stock, assemblers. each has a separate growth rate. and here i like to look at the earnings per share growth rates of the companies i follow versus the individual slices of the sectors. because the sector growth rate doesn't work even though people keep trying to use it. cloud stocks, for example-r highly valued. meaning the price teernings and growth rates are extreme. that means there's no room for error, or hair as we call it, meaning something is wrong, some chink that could upset the growth rate. in 2011 one of my favorite cloud plays, salesforce.com, report aid magnificent quarter but its guidance for its billings was later than i was hoping. the stock immediately g

operations. it is technology management, a way they can work with some of the thousands of existing vendors, supposedly will help them to better support the merchants overseas going forward and give them exclusivity with this particular company but this acquisition today puts them under pressure about 4% and that is why you're seeing it down about $0.19. merry christmas, everybody. david: ilog one of my groupon things to expire. it is not a total loss. lori: it is not front and center in people's priority list. david: s&p futures are closed right now. that's about to larry at the cme to see how things might work out during christmas time. what do you think, larry? larry: 1430 used to be the support coming ou, now it is the resistance. the very key support. what is important for us all to remember, forget about the fiscal cliff, what is driving the stock market and keeping us where we are right now? a lot of it is consumer discretionary spending not because of christmas but because gasoline prices have dropped 17%. take advantage of all time low rates giving us a push hold in the mar

technology reporter natalie morris. welcome back. you had a little baby since the last time, ava. congratulations. >> thank you very much. >> nice christmas, i'm sure. let's start with what you see as a possibility in the phone space next year. >> okay. so i'm seeing a lot of rumors about something called branded phones. so facebook, amazon, now google, mozilla, having whisperings about their own phone which may be a little confusing for consumers but these are phones that are highly branded with these services and that you will be able to get to the services anywhere you are. you can facebook anything -- >> instead of motorola, i will have a private label amazon phone that's going to help me get to amazon and its services quickly, facebook and its quickly. but will they run on droid or microsoft's platform? >> that's the question. there are rumors that mozilla will do their own operating system but a lot of these will probably use some version of android. >> let's talk about microsoft which is always in the news. the surface, the initial one, it's a very nice piece of equipment

sector basket like in 2001 and 2002 when so many people left the building because of technology stocks. i go over this again because i can never say it too many times. means that no one sector, one segment of the economy should ever account for more than 20% of your portfolio. if you own five stocks, only one of them can be a tech stock, one a health care stock, one a financial, only one can be an energy company and one an industrial and only one a food and beverage-maker. what if you're not sure? always err on the side of caution. if two stocks trade together, underlying companies succeed or fail based on the same factors, you're not diversified, oil driller and oil producer, people think they are different, both part of the same sector, software and hardware, look, both techs whether we like it or not, not doing this to be arbitrary or capricious or make it more difficult to pick stocks. when you get too concentrated in one area the moment something bad happens to one of the two big stocks in that area you want to throw yourself off the bridge because the loss will be enormous. imagi

now, that's where most of the money is. >> i think it will be technology, judge. i agree with joe about finanicals, because if these guys can finally do something right, these guys being the politicians, i think we could have a housing continuation, great for the banks and well fargo. as far as technology, unfortunately a lot of folks had their jobs taken abase of efficiencies of technology and that trend continues. i would look at stocks from juniper and apple. i'd look at anybody in the communitication space. >> why do you say apple first part of the year? are you worried it runs out of steam again? >> i said this again yesterday. what we've seen day in day out the first month we have seen apple rally and then smacked as people take those gains, not loss, gains. that is partly why the stock has been so weak the end of the year. i think that pressure abades the beginning of the next year. >> where is leadership? >>> like financials and technology. both will be industrials, led by housing for 2013 and a big uptick in construction. there has to be special infrastructure plans comin
